Well, would we even see them if they weren't? (Serious question).

I'm not an astronomy expert, but I believe that the effect of the jets can be seen distorting dust clouds surrounding such objects.

Ah, that makes sense

If the angle of the jet is more then a little off axis the jet may still visible if it is sufficiently powerful and it passes through a scattering medium (interstellar dust?) the wiki page for blazars shows just such an example in the M87 galaxy

BearOfaTime ,

That makes sense. Thanks for the link.

Where does it need to be pointed to be called a ‘Tie and Blazar”?
